University of Houston
Proposal to Raise Freshman Admissions Standards in 2011
Introduction — Current and Proposed Standards
Consistent with the University of Houston’s goals of national competitiveness and student success, as
weU as to better differentiate UH’s mission from that of its sister UH System institutions, the University
of Houston proposes to change its freshman admissions standards in the following ways:
Current Standards ProposedStandardsl
H5 Class Rank SAT/ACT H5 Class Rank SAT/ACT
Automatic Admission Top 20% None Top 10% None
• Automatic Admission 21-50% 1000/21 11-25% 1000/21
Automatic Admission 26-50% 1100/24
Individual Review*
*To be conducted by faculty committees
If approved, the new standards would be used to admit the cohort of ETIC students entering in the fall
of 2011. In addition, a plan has been developed for further increases in admissions standards for 2013.
National Competitiveness and Student Success
Building a nationally-competitive, tier-one university requires not only hiring great faculty and building
world-class academic and research programs but competing on a state, national and international level
for students with outstanding records of achievement. Currently, UH’s admissions standards are not as
selective as those of its national peer institutions, which puts the university at a disadvantage in terms of
competing for highly qualified students. Raising the freshman admissions standards is an important step
in changing this dynamic. Doing so will send a clear signal to potential students and their parents about
the level of academic achievement we expect of UH freshmen. At the same time it will set a high bar for
UH to recruit top students. In addition, higher freshman admissions standards will help the university
address one of its most pressing and long-standing challenges — student retention and graduation.
Statistics clearly demonstrate that students with sound preparation for college and records of high
academic achievement are more likely to persist and graduate from college in a timely manner.
The State Mandate
Increasing UH’s freshman admissions standards is also necessary to maintain competitiveness in the
state of Texas. In passing House Bill 51 last year (which created the National Research University Fund),
one of the characteristics the Texas Legislature identified as indicative of a tier-one university is that the
freshman class demonstrates a high level of academic achievement. Although the definition of high
academic achievement has yet to be determined, it is likely that the traditional admissions standards of
SAT/ACT scores and high school class rank will be factors. Attached are the admissions standards for the
research and emerging research universities in Texas. Currently, UH’s admissions standards are below
those of the research universities in Texas (UT-Austin and Texas A&M) and are not at the top of the
emerging research universities.
A&SS — 3.1.1
UH System — Institutional Distinction and Student Pathways
Increasing freshman admissions standards at UH will enable the UH System to create clearer lines of
distinction between its universities and pathways for students to pursue a degree. Currently, the UHS
universities are revising their mission statements and admissions policies so that they are more
complementary and provide an option within the UH System for every student— including a tier-one
option for the most highly qualified students. This will better position the UH System to meet its goal of
providing access to the entire Houston metropolitan area and ensure that the system remains one of
the most ethnically diverse in the nation.

Position Statement of the University of Houston System Board of RegentsRegarding the U.S. Supreme Court Ruling
On the Use of Race and Ethnicity in Student Admission
Background
In 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court issued Grutter v. Bollinger which provided guidelines
for considering race and ethnicity among other factors in admission to institutions of
higher education. These guidelines focus on admission procedures which useindividualized, holistic candidate reviews and which ensure that race and ethnicity, ifconsidered, are evaluated flexibly as a “plus” factor for each applicant. These types of
admission policies must then be regularly evaluated. The court concluded that student
body diversity’ is a compelling state interest that can justi’ the use of race in admission.
Policy Statement
The University of Houston System Board of Regents recognizes and endorses thebenefits of diversity in the university setting, for the purpose of breaking downstereotypes and promoting cross-racial understanding. Therefore, to the extent necessary
to achieve a diverse student body, and after race neutral alternatives have provenunsuccessful, we believe each component institution should have the discretion to adoptadmission policies which consider the totality of each individual applicant’s background
and strengths. including but not limited to cultural history, ethnic origin, race, hardshipsovercome, service to others, extra curricular activities, grades, test scores, and work
experience. Further, an applicant’s background, including race and ethnicity, should bean allowable but not determinative consideration in awarding some discretionaryscholarships.
Process
Any UHS university or academic unit that proposes such an admission plan (orscholarship program) shall do so based on the guidelines set forth by the Supreme Court.The Chancellor has delegated approval of these plans to the Senior Vice Chancellor forAcademic Affairs in conjunction with the Office of General Counsel. Due to state lawany changes in admission policies shall be published for at least one year in advance ofthe consideration for application Based on this requirement, the inclusion of race andethnicity factors in admission carmot become effective until one year after the publicationof the approved admission policy. The position statement expressed herein shall bereviewed by the Board of Regents within five years from adoption.

KUHT/Houston PBS
Report to the UH System Board of Regents
November 4, 2009
Major New Production: ‘The Fall of the Wall”
Early next year, PBS will broadcast nationally, “The Fall of the Wall, a Presidential History of theCold War,” a documentary developed and produced by KUHT that examines the fall of the BerlinWall through interviews with three principal players of the era: former President George H.W.Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Helmut Kohl. The documentary has been underwritten with$450,000 in foundation and corporate donations. As a next step, KUHT is seeking support fromMorgan Stanley to produce a companion production on the reunification of Germany. (Seeattachment)
Recent Awards
In October, KUHT received four EMMY Awards at the 7th Annual Lone Star EMMY Awards Gala.The statewide Lone Star Chapter, which is part of the National Academy of Television Arts andSciences, serves all 19 television markets in Texas and recognizes high levels of professionalachievement through their annual presentation of the prestigious regional EMMY Awards. (Seeattachment)
Review of Station Operations
Over the past nine months KUHT and the UHS administration have conducted a rigorous peerreview assessment of station operations. The study was both qualitative and quantitative.KUHT’s operations were assessed relative to state and national peers for multiple PBSperformance measures, and focus group discussions were conducted with station and university
personnel to evaluate KUHT’s strengths and weaknesses. A summary of the findings:
“KUHT’s top management (General Manager and Station Manager) arecompetent, well experienced in every facet of public television, and workinghard to address the current fiscal crisis. We find that the station, while undergreat financial distress for this decade, is generally performing at a reasonablelevel compared to its peers.”
KUHT and the UH System are working to respond to the recommendations of the peer review,one of which is to strengthen the relationship between the station and UH. UH Moment,described below, is one way in which KUHT and the UH System are enhancing their partnership.
UH Moment
UH Moment is a weekly series of brief audio stories, broadcast on KUHF, that highlightinnovative research, programs and successes at the University of Houston. Currently UH andKUHT are planning to develop a video component to the series, which will be broadcast onKUHT. (See attachment)
